July 2018 -- One of the highlights of my Alaskan cruise was my excursion to a sled dog camp. I took this excursion when the ship stopped in Juneau. It was expensive ($599), but worth it. Niki opted for a less expensive excursion. My first trip was cancelled because of the weather. It was a miserable day, with poor visibility. I was able to book a trip with another company. It was my first-ever ride in a helicopter. It was exhilarating. When we were at the dog camp, we learned about mushing and each got to mush a team. The weather was just as bad on the mountain. I was drenched. I was chilled to the bone. It didn't matter. I got to mush!
I bought the souvenir photo.
My first helicopter ride
I rode in the back seat.
The dog camps were up in the mountains.
I made a friend.
The dogs sheltered in igloos.
Amazing dogs
When we got back to the ship, there were "Puppies in the Plaza." I waited in line (for awhile) to cuddle with the puppies and get my picture taken. It seemed like a fitting end to the day.
